Stunning is an innovative tool that aims to simplify the website creation process using AI technology. It's designed for individuals who want to build websites quickly, such as aspiring website agency owners or those looking to establish an online presence for their business.
You can see my demo as part of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZjcCJNzXzk
I found the platform easy to use, the dashboard of Stunning is user-friendly, allowing users to start creating a website with just a few clicks. The process involves a chat GPT-style interaction where the AI asks about the brand tone, voice, and other preferences. This intuitive approach makes it accessible even for those with minimal technical expertise.
While Stunning automates the design process, generating color palettes and suggesting layouts, it currently has a limited selection of blocks. This limitation means the generated websites looking somewhat similar. However, users can upload logos, edit text, and add call-to-action buttons, providing a degree of customization.
It's an early stage product so I expect this will be something that can be addressed as more layout options are added to the design pool.
The platform also includes n AI marketing module for creating ads on various platforms and promotional emails, as well as an inbuilt CRM for managing subscribers. These features could be particularly beneficial for small businesses looking to streamline their marketing efforts.
There's an AI blog writer, I've only tried it a couple of times and it was OK. Be aware of the fair usage policy, which may require you to use your own OpenAI API key if you generate a lot of content. I think this is a fair solution to avoid potential abuse of the system.
The main issue for me was the HTML embedding ability didn't work very well. I tried to embed a contact form, a Beacon lead magnet form and a GoTeam up booking calendar and none of them worked. Again, hopefully this can be addressed in time.
I contacted support a couple of times and they were quick to respond and helpful.
So this one is a bit of a gamble, as it stands right now this is early stage software but it has the potential to be a great tool.
